MUSE HiFi M6 Double Assessment<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Abstract<\/p>\n

I can see that MUSE HiFi has put a number of effort into making the M6 Double a really particular restricted version merchandise DAC\/Amp. Contemplating the value, sound, design, and rarity of the IN-17 show tube, its manufacturing is proscribed to just one,000 items. I’d counsel getting the MUSE HiFi M6 Double when you nonetheless can.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Execs<\/p>\n

Can drive excessive impedance headphones fairly nicely.<\/p>\n

Clean in transistor mode and smoother in tube mode.<\/p>\n

Pleasant IN-17 pixie tube quantity show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cons<\/p>\n

Not probably the most highly effective for its dimension.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

MUSE HiFi is a memorable model to me as a result of the primary overview I did for Headfonics was of the MUSE HiFi M5 Extremely<\/a>, a extremely nice-sounding tube hybrid Bluetooth DAC amplifier.<\/p>\n

I’m now stoked that they launched a Restricted Version Bluetooth DAC amplifier, the MUSE HiFi M6 Double, which sells for $399.<\/p>\n

You could ask why they named it Double? It\u2019s as a result of it refers to the usage of IN-17, the smallest Pixie show tube with double digits, as the quantity indicator for the M6 Double, mixed with two JAN 6418, the smallest audio tube, therefore the identify Double.<\/p>\n

What makes the M6 Double actually particular is that these IN-17 Pixie tubes are so uncommon that they have to be sourced primarily from Russia and a few from Europe.<\/p>\n

These IN-17s have been produced between 1960 and 1970, earlier than LED shows grew to become out there. MUSE HiFi managed to acquire 2,200 tubes and was instructed by the suppliers that these are the final remaining shares, making MUSE HiFi the world\u2019s largest single stockist of the IN-17.<\/p>\n

Moreover, MUSE HiFi made the additional effort to make the IN-17 Pixie tubes work with the M6 Double through the use of a personalized energy provide and management system.<\/p>\n

This tube requires 170 Volts, which is way increased than the voltage wanted for LEDs. And all of the tubes are mounted on a shock-absorbing platform.<\/p>\n

As a result of rarity of the IN-17 tube, MUSE HiFi solely makes 1000 items of the M6 Double, making this product a Restricted Version. My overview pattern is numbered 0000\/1000.<\/p>\n

However sufficient in regards to the show tube, and ask how the M6 Double sounds? And the way does it evaluate to different Bluetooth DAC amplifiers, together with the MUSE HiFi M5 Extremely and the SMSL DS20<\/a>? Let\u2019s discover out.<\/p>\n
